Spatial audio is an essential part of this emerging immersive environment technology. This paper describes work carried out in order to provide a spatial audio system for a range of systems, from a single person SmartSpace chair using transaural processing to a multiuser VisionDome using a combination of ambisonics and nonlinear panning.
